Amongst social Networking sites, twitter is one of the most common source of big data where people from across the world share their views on various topics and subjects. With daily Active user count of 100-million+ users twitter is becoming a rich information source for finding trends and current happenings around the world. Twitter does provide a limited “trends” feature. To make twitter trends more interesting and informative, in this paper we propose a framework that can analyze twitter data and classify tweets on some specific subject to generate trends.
